I am happy to report that the soccer tournament was a HUGE success!! Despite the teacher's strike we had 10 teams participate: 3 girls and 7 boys. Since a few secondary schools signed up, we had girls finals, primary finals and secondary finals. The kids were so excited to play with the new balls and receive trophies at the end. We started around 10 AM and the last game finished at 6 PM. Our DJ/MC, Oscar, was absolutely amazing and kept the crowd entertained all day with music, talent performances between games and lots of "Kick Jiggers Out of Bungoma" chants. Enjoy the pictures :)
We purchased 8 soccer balls, 24 scrimmage vests, a ball pump, 10 cones, 2 whistles, and a sturdy trunk with two padlocks.
Me, Philip, Alyssa and Annette the day after we purchased the equipment. Everyone at the Red Cross was very excited to see all the new stuff.
Morning of the tournament. Just getting over the flu. Red Bull consumed and ready for some soccer.
Our awesome MC/DJ...Oscar!
